Alex and Gregory’s spring inspired wedding at The Estate at River Run radiated charm, elegance, and the beauty of family traditions. The wedding aesthetic is classy, elegant, and imbued with a sense of romantic charm. The Estate was filled with peach, white, and soft blush florals, grown by the bride herself evoking the essence of spring and luxury, capturing the sophistication of the day.
The Wedgewood Ballroom, where the ceremony took place, was adorned with gorgeous florals in vivid hues of orange, pink, and blue, perfectly capturing the freshness of the season. The soft natural light flooding the room through grand windows enhanced the fresh, airy feel of the scene. As sunlight streamed through, the couple exchanged vows surrounded by their closest loved ones, making love and partnership the essence of the celebration.
After the heartfelt ceremony, guests transitioned to our brick walled Tuscan Ballroom for a delightful reception. Lush arrangements of the same vibrant florals created a whimsical, springtime atmosphere. Dinner was served beneath crystal chandeliers, and the air was filled with laughter and toasts, many of which were made with bourbon, honoring a long-standing southern tradition.
The groomsmen added a unique touch to the day with cigars, shared among themselves and other family members, bringing an element of relaxed celebration to the formal affair. After dinner, the Wedgewood Ballroom was transformed into a lively dance floor, where guests danced the night away beneath twinkling lights.
The spring theme was woven into every detail, from the fresh blooms to the joyful energy in the air. It was a day that celebrated love, family, and tradition in the perfect setting of The Estate at River Run.
